From the 5th July The MacMillan Mighty Hike returns to the Gower Peninsula. 

To show our support for the hikers, their loved ones and everyone affected by cancer. 

The Wonder of Wellbeing Gower have created a special driftwood art installation of green hearts. 

But … 

We need your personal touch! 

Starting from the 5th July pop int,./o St Mary’s Church Rhossili anytime from 10am until 3pm, using the prompts written on a chalkboard for guidance, grab a white tag to write a message of hope, gratitude, personal reflection, tribute or encouragement. 

Hang it from a green heart or take away to keep, the choice is yours. 

There will also be tea lights available should you wish to light a candle too. 

Use this safe and quiet space for a time to reflect and ponder. 

Are you handy with needles or a crochet hook?
